The world No. 1 spoke candidly about the mental spiral that undid her, her frustration at the open roof in the wind, and the lapses that keep costing her on clay. Aryna Sabalenka was beaten by Diana Shnaider in the Roland-Garros quarter-finals, losing the last ten games after leading 6-3, 4-1.
Unbelievable: Shnaider beats Sabalenka 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 after the world No. 1 implodes serving for the match
Diana Shnaider (No 25), 22, beat world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 on Court Philippe-Chatrier – from 1-4 down in the second set and twice two points from defeat when Sabalenka served for the match. A 6-0 third set against the player who had been the heavy title favourite. Incredible.
